Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Reviews

I am impressed with the tool's features like routing, Layer 2 security, and port security. 

We encounter a challenge in automating the product to reduce manual work. 

I have been working with the tool for twenty years. 

Compared to Huawei, Cisco's support is good. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for the WiFi and the wireless. We use it as a switch. It can help with encryption and networking.

Since I am a certified user, I find the solution to be very smooth. It works very well. The solution offers good training so that users can remain up-to-date with the product.

The product offers a very professional experience. 

It helps us ensure we have wireless access points. 

I'm able to easily manage the solution. I can configure and monitor everything very easily.

It's a well-recognized brand and is widely used.

The solution is stable.

It is scalable.

Cisco offers very good SLAs.

We've had some issues as we've increased usage. It might be the logic or maybe we just need more hardware. We're working on a fix to the problem.

The pricing is a bit high.

They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI.

I've used the solution over the last ten years.

This is a stable solution. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find the solution is also very secure. 

The solution scales well. It's not a problem if you need to expand. 

We have an SLA with Cisco, and they offer support and maintenance services. If you have a good SLA in place with Cisco, you get the help you need. Having the SLA helps cover the warranty or if something happens like a misconfiguration or a change. Overall, the support is good. 

I'm also familiar with Aruba.

The initial setup is very easy. We just follow the steps and handle the configuration. We also do any troubleshooting if there is any issue.

If the user wants another configuration, you adjust as needed. 

It is not difficult to maintain the product at all. If there are any urgent issues, we're on top of it. We make sure we can fix network issues quickly, should they happen, in order to maintain the business. 

I happen to have good SLAs for other problems and they cover things from the Cisco side.

The solution can be expensive. 

We have plans to upgrade our switches and are moving everything over to Cisco.

We're using the latest version of the product.

I have a deep knowledge of Cisco and have worked with it for a while. It doesn't really give us any issues. It's easy to integrate with devices. Many companies tend to use Cisco.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for running our manufacturing operation.

Regarding improving our organization's functioning, the security provided by the solution can be considered an example.

I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool.

Right now, there aren't any improvements needed in the solution.

Feature-wise, there are no features that I would like to see included in the tool.

I would say it's been more than ten years that I've been dealing with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. It was version 9300, which I was using.

Speaking in terms of how it has improved the way our organization functions, we have experienced improved stability.

I have faced no issues with the stability of the solution.

Scalability-wise, the solution is good. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations. Also, around a thousand users use Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches in our organization.

I haven't had any need to escalate any questions to the technical support team recently.

The initial setup of the tool was easy.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the easiest, I rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine.

When deploying the switches, the basic steps involved getting the architecture done and then deploying it. It was a lengthy process and took around three to six months.

We did not require a lot of staff members or resources for the deployment process. Also, the tool does not require any specific maintenance.

We have Accenture as our global partner, who handles the deployment process for us. They are the ones who do it for us.

For ROI, we generally recover it in seven years.

I cannot give any advice or recommendation for those who want to start working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. I also won't be able to recommend it to others. However, while I personally recommend this solution, I cannot publicly recommend it to anyone.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to connect to the local area network for the server room to connect our different floors, and levels, to interconnect all the users from different locations within the campus.

The most valuable feature is performance.

The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up. A reduction in cost can improve the solution. 

I have been using the solution for over one year.

The stability should be fine because I'm using Cisco, and I think I have no problem with that.

The solution is scalable.

Whenever we raise tickets we never receive further feedback or callbacks.

Neutral

We have always used Cisco products.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Normally, we have a face-to-face implementation, so it could last three to six months for the implementation because there are a lot of teams involved, including security, and application.

The deployment was completed in-house.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

We currently have 300 people using the solution and will probably be increasing that number in the near future.

We have 46 members on our technical team.

We use the solution as a switch. 

Ciscos Switches are one of the best switches in the industry.

Big players are using the product, including banks and companies in the financial sector.

Cisco is ubiquitous. It's used everywhere. 

They have many product lines. They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options. 

The setup is simple and straightforward. 

Techical support is helpful.

The stability has been good. 

Their price is quite high compared to their competitors. This should be less.

I've been using the solution for more than 15 years, or maybe for as much as 20 years. 

The solution has been quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. Both hardware and software wise it's stable. 

The product is scalable. They have a wide range of product lines for small to medium enterprises to banks. They cover every area. For every customer, they have a solution.

We have 70 or more companies using the solution right now. 

We do have plans to increase usage at this point. 

Support is very good. They offer very helpful assistance. 

Positive

I'm also aware of Juniper Switches and Brocade solutions. People are also beginning to use Huawei products. Huawei is much cheaper in terms of routing and switching.

It's a simple setup. Cisco is simple plug-and-play. Starting is easy. If you don't want any complexity, then you can simply opt for plug and play. 

If you want more complexity or more security, that's still quite simple. They have spent so much time and expertise in education. Cisco education is everywhere. It makes it so that people are aware of Cisco Control and Cisco Command Line. Many users feel comfortable with it. 

The price of Cisco options is quite high.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. It might be version 10 or 11. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for approximately seven years.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution.

The Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are scalable.

We have approximately six people using the solution.

The support from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches was not very good prior to 2019. However, the support has improved and is not a problem anymore.

The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months.

The deployment difficulty level of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches depends on the requirements of the client. If the IT person from the client's side is good the implementation will be fine. If not the implementation will be difficult.

The price of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is higher than competitors, such as Huawei.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as switches. We use it across the justice system in our country. They are in lots of buildings. 

We are using it for networking for WAN network connections.

The stability has come in handy for us. If you compare it to Huawei or HPE, it's more reliable.

We are using the ICE integration with Cisco and that's it.

It's great for networking. 

We are using protocols like OSPF.

It works very well. 

We are using the common features and it works well for us.

It's stable and we never have to worry about it. 

The setup is straightforward. 

The product is scalable.

We aren't lacking any features. 

The pricing can be a bit unstable. It's dependent on the account manager. They should offer reasonable standard pricing. We need to go through local vendors and everything varies far too much.

We've been using the solution for 20 years now. It's been a very long time. 

We've never had issues with stability. The switches are always stable and reliable. 

We have nearly 2,000 switches. Right now, we have 10,000 users. 

It's quite scalable. The product is not limited in any way. 

We have Smart Net support. If anything comes up, we open a ticket with Cisco and they assist. They will replace the hardware within a week or two typically. 

They are all qualified CCIE and are quite knowledgeable.

We used to use Huawei switches many years ago. We also used HPE. We are purely using Cisco now. Cisco has better support and the switches are easier to use. The Command Line is different and simple.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not difficult at all.

It is easy to maintain everything.

We handle the setups in-house. 

We've noted an ROI. 

The pricing is okay. 

Depending on the account manager, whether he gives a discount or not will determine the price. Sometimes they give you a 70% discount and sometimes there's no discount. The price is not stable.

Comparatively, the pricing is pretty good.

We are an end user. 

Every year, we are changing the product and tend to use the latest versions. Right now, we are using 93 on many. We may use different switch versions.  

We'd recommend the product. It's stable and has a good interface. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

This product is for absolutely everything to do with our networks.

This product is fine and works well in the background.

Scalability is an area that can be improved.

I have been working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for more than ten years.

Given that this product works well, it's stable.

In terms of scalability, I imagine that it is good, although it can still be improved. We have approximately 2,500 users and we do not plan on increasing our usage.

I would rate the technical support a full five out of five.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward.

We have an in-house technical team but we also use consultants.

We have a team of approximately three people that handle networks, among other things.

Licensing fees for this product are billed on a yearly basis. It is not expensive.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are used to direct network traffic.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for approximately three months.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are stable.

The scalability of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is good.

We have approximately 1,800 people using this solution in my company, including all branches.

I have contacted the support from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and they were good. Their response was fast.

I have used other switches previously and we changed all the brands to Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. When we upgraded our network we went with an all-Cisco network. 

We have a third party install our Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and configure them.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches prices are high. However, it was acceptable. The price is higher than competitors.

My advice to others is this is a good solution and they should use it.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We use this switch in our network layer 3. One of our use cases is managing the VLAN, and connecting with other VLANs.

Administration can be done using the web-based interface.

This product does not scale to environments where there is a lot of network traffic.

The security features for the web services can be improved.

I have been working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for quite some time.

I am a Cisco-certified network engineer. I have experience with routing and configuring this product.

For a smaller company, Linksys is very stable. In an environment where there is a large number of devices and a lot of traffic, this is not the best solution.

With respect to scalability, this switch works well in an administration environment where the traffic is low. However, in other industries that require a lot of traffic, this type of switch is too small. In other parts of our company, we use other Cisco devices that handle a larger amount of traffic.

In our environment, scalability is good and we don't have a problem. We have 300 users. We do plan to increase our usage.

I also have experience with D-Link switches, as well as similar products from HPE including the HPE ProCurve.

For a larger architecture, such as one that is used for virtualization services, I would recommend using larger Cisco switches. On the other hand, if you have a smaller company that doesn't need a complex network with MPLS, then Linksys is a good choice because of the cost difference. Cisco switches have a very high cost.

We have an in-house technical support team that maintains our network. There are three people on the team.

The cost of Linksys switches is very reasonable and for a small enterprise like my company, it's perfect.

This is a product that I recommend, although if you have an environment that uses a lot of bandwidth then it is not the best choice. That said, there is a cost difference between Linksys and the larger Cisco products.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
